2. Recorded Plat Map Overrides Exact setbacks are dictated by the recorded county plat map for your specific lot. Recorded utility, drainage, and pipeline easements can increase effective setback lines beyond POA defaults.
3. ACC / ARC Written Discretion All primary residences, outbuildings, metal workshops, color palettes, and tree preservation buffers require formal written approval from the Architectural Control Committee prior to site prep.
